This pattern is available for free.

Working method to produce a small basket or car seat size baby blanket using yarn in any weight from DK through Aran and one or more knitter-selected lace or texture stitch charts. Sample chart for lacy insertion and matching edging provided (Lacy insertion panel adapted from a C. Duchrow chart - simplified version presented in modern notation.)

Process oriented tutorial series walks beginners through yarn and fiber choice, yarn quantity estimation, needle choice, picking and placing the pattern, figuring final dimensions, choosing or drafting a complementing edging that doesn’t require corner mitering, casting on, casting off and creating slip stitch selvages for ease in picking up later, knitting the edging onto the main body, and finishing.
